A PKR Youth leader has credited party deputy president Nurul Izzah Anwar for continuously engaging and contributing to the Indian community, despite no longer holding a government position.
In a statement today, PKR Youth vice-chief Pravin Murali said her involvement goes beyond seasonal political gestures, describing it as a principled commitment grounded in values of social justice and inclusivity.
“Even though she is no longer in Parliament or has any direct role in the Dewan Rakyat, Nurul Izzah consistently goes to the ground, engages with various communities, including the Indian community, and helps shape comprehensive solutions to the issues they face,” he said.

Reflecting on her past roles as MP for Lembah Pantai and Permatang Pauh, Pravin said Nurul Izzah has long championed access to education, economic opportunities, family welfare for the B40 group, and holistic development for the Indian community.
Inclusive development strategy
He added that while she is now working behind the scenes, her contributions, in the form of policy planning and strategic input, continue to ensure no community is left out of the country’s development agenda.
“Many of the challenges faced by the Indian community today stem from the failure of previous leadership to implement an effective and inclusive development strategy.
“As such, the upcoming 13th Malaysia Plan must serve as a platform for reform, with a focus on inclusive policies, transparent implementation, and prioritising education, economic opportunities, and healthcare,” said Pravin.
Last Thursday, Nurul Izzah defended her quiet approach to addressing Indian Malaysian issues, saying silence doesn’t equate to inaction.
She said she preferred working behind the scenes to achieve concrete results, rather than putting on a show.
In response, MIC deputy president M Saravanan called on Nurul Izzah to substantiate her claims, adding that his own party had submitted an eight-point reform agenda for the 13th Malaysia Plan.
